RAXE300 slow ReadySHARE USB SSD speeds
Hello, just got the RAXE300 and generally i think that it is a great router and i like the WiFi 6E speeds. My PC is connected to the router (Intel AX210) with 2402/1922 (Mbps) speeds which is nic...
It is formatted with NTFS. I have tried with two different devices (SSD and HDD), with no change. With both USB devices I get above 60mb/s on the old XR500.
sorry, I don't have an RAXE300 to compare speeds with. I did find a review from Dongknows that had usb issues as well as it was only connecting at usb 2.0 speeds.

I have a RAXE300 also. I just attached a drive configured the same way and mine is pretty much the same speed. Could be a firmware problem I hope.
I mean could this be an issue with the new USB controller which is obviously used on this router for the USB-C?
Also interestingly when i copy data from the USB drive network share to my PC, then the speeds go up to 90MB/s, which is what i would also expect from the write speeds. So i guess this is only a write issue?
During the copy process from my PC to the USB drive, i saw that the routers CPU load was just up to 8% so the CPU load should not be the issue here. The RAM usage during the copy on the other hand was 490MB/512MB, so this is quite at the limit.
I also hope that this is a firmware issue, as such speeds are honestly not acceptable nowadays, especially when 5 years older and lower trier hardware was performing better...
